Protests from villagers and native communities who fear mining will cause pollution or provide them with little economic benefit have threatened $53-billion in planned investments for new projects just as existing mines, like Pierina, face retirement.
"Volume is declining, we expect by 3% or 4% this year," said Morales, of the mining society. "It's not much, but if new mines don't start producing we are going to have bigger problems."
